Firefox Sidebar and Vertical tabs: try them out in Nightly Firefox Labs 131
(blog.nightly.mozilla.org)
A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox
Interesting how the announcement contains neither mention nor screenshot of the new AI chatbot that appears to be in it...
I thought that was going to be an integral part of the sidebar. Are they keeping it turned off by default?
The AI assistant stuff is currently an opt-in experiment.
As is the sidebar, thus why I was curious about how joined the features are.
I would love it if Mozilla cast the AI trend aside and left the chatbot junk to extensions, like we already have. Even for an AI evangelist, the landscape has become dotted with chatbots that are incompatible with each other but link back to the same APIs.
To be clearer, at least for now, they're literally separate checkboxes. I have the sidebar on, AI off.
I feel you... :^(
It's another feature that intersects with the sidebar work but has to be enabled separately.
